VOYAGER is one of nine of the 390 series, an iconic Alden schooner with her knuckle bow and a pronounced sheer line inspired by the Gloucester fishing schooners, full waterlines aft and a slightly hollow entrance. The high bow helps repel water underway and keeps the foredeck dry, a seaworthiness demonstrated over countless sea miles and many ocean crossings.

VOYAGER was purchased by Peter Phillipps in 1962, with his wife Jeanette joining the team in 1972. The Phillipps' had a new hull built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, at the Smith & Rhuland yard 1972-1973 (WB No. 33) and in 1984 she was oak sister framed at the Gannon and Benjamin yard (WB No. 69).

Her most comprehensive restoration was done in Phuket, Thailand, in 2002-2004. This complete refit included total replanking with maay takien tong fastened w/silicone bronze screws, sawn takien tong frames to supplement double frames of steamed oak, new takien tong clamp
and shelf strakes and laminated deck beams with new 3/4" teck deck over 3/4" maay daeng tongue and grove, new teak deck, structures
and cockpit.

With the passing of Captain and dad, Peter Phillipps in 2010, VOYAGER made her way down to the next generation of the family in 2016. 2024 saw a rig overhaul on Martha's Vineyard by the venerable Myles Thurlow. She is now back in Lunenburg, where two generations of the family helped with her first rebuild. Here, the hull will get some attention, hull seams and covering boards around the stanchions will be reefed and recaulked, and the interior will get a few modifications. Plans are afoot for an Atlantic crossing in summer 2025 from St. John, Newfoundland to Scotland. The adventures continue.
